MEET CHRISTINA THOMASON AT UPSTATE SPINE & SPORT

Meet Christina Thomason at Upstate Spine & Sport

Meet the newest addition to join the stellar team at Upstate Spine & Sport at Basecamp on Laurens Road in Greenville! Introducing Christina Thomason, a brand new acupuncturist ready to help clients across the Upstate. Now enjoy your official intro with Christina!

360: How did you get into acupuncture? 

Christina: I suffered from back pain growing up. After choosing a holistic lifestyle a friend recommended acupuncture. In two treatments my acupuncturist helped my back pain go away and I was hooked. I had to know more! Shortly after starting school, I was diagnosed with Crohn’s disease. I tried the Western traditional methods of care and my quality of life decreased. I decided to lean into Chinese Medicine and my mentors at school. I felt like I came back to life again and I haven’t looked back. I want to help my patients experience that kind of care and health to enjoy their lives.

360: What do you love most about being an acupuncturist?

Christina: The simple answer is that I love helping people. It’s a privilege to spend time with people and watch them grow and improve their lives through a form of medicine I truly believe in.

Christina: My in-laws bought a house here while on vacation! They came back to California and told us to come along with them and as crazy as it sounds we jumped on their moving truck 6 weeks later. My husband and I came to Greenville sight unseen and we couldn’t be happier to have decided to leave California. We were excited to come to an area that felt a little slower paced and more peaceful. We love it here – the environment, the weather, the people, everything about Greenville. There is something daily that makes us fall in love with the Upstate a little more.

360: If you could give future patients any advice, what would it be?

Christina: My favorite quote – “Listen to your body while it’s whispering, so you’re not forced to listen when it screams.” Your body is constantly talking to you and I’m fortunate to know how to interpret it. I want to help others understand what their bodies are trying to tell them too.
